We study the electronic structure of ultrathin zinc-blende two-dimensional (2D)-CdSe nanosheets both theoretically, by Hartree-renormalized k路p calculations including Coulomb interaction, and experimentally, by temperature-dependent and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. The observed 2D-heavy hole exciton states show a strong influence of vertical confinement and dielectric screening. A very weak coupling to phonons results in a low phonon-contribution to the homogeneous line-broadening. The 2D-nanosheets exhibit much narrower ensemble absorption and emission linewidths as compared to the best colloidal CdSe nanocrystallites ensembles. Since those nanoplatelets can be easily stacked and tend to roll up as they are large, we see a way to form new types of multiple quantum wells and II鈥揤I nanotubes, for example, for fluorescence markers.
